Initial Speculation of the Boy's Identity
Many viewers speculated that the boy receiving the Grammy from Bad Bunny was Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old from Minnesota who recently came to public attention due to his detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
This speculation arose because Bad Bunny is known for his vocal criticism of immigration policies, including in his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards a week earlier.
At the time, he emphatically stated, "ICE out… We are not savages. We are not animals. We are not aliens. We are human beings and we are Americans."
This statement led many to interpret the Super Bowl gesture as a direct endorsement of Ramos' case and criticism of ICE.
Some viewers and media observers interpreted the Super Bowl halftime moment as symbolic, viewing it as Bad Bunny's attempt to draw attention to sensitive immigration issues.
However, the child's true identity was later revealed.
The Child's True Identity: Lincoln Fox
After widespread speculation, it has finally been confirmed that the boy who shared the stage with Bad Bunny was not Liam Ramos.
This confirmation came after reports stated that Ramos did not travel to Santa Clara to participate in the Super Bowl halftime show.
The child's true identity is a child actor named Lincoln Fox, which later shared the unforgettable moment on his personal Instagram account.
In his post, he wrote, "I will remember this day forever! [Bad Bunny] - It was my greatest honor."
Lincoln Fox has an interesting background, since he is half Argentinian and half Egyptian, adding a unique dimension to his now-high-profile figure.
The Meaning of the Inspirational Moment
Bad Bunny's Grammy presentation to Lincoln Fox was apparently Bad Bunny's original idea.
The plan was hatched long before he won three Grammy Awards the week before the Super Bowl.
Harriet Cuddeford, the creative director behind the Super Bowl halftime show, explained the purpose behind the moment, stated that the gesture was meant to inspire the younger generation.
"To believe that they can do it too," Cuddeford said, emphasizing the message of hope and encouragement for children.
